Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao – The world is anxiously anticipating the Pound for Pound King Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey’s boxing bout on March 13. Who would win?

Pacquiao and Clottey’s weigh-in came in at 145¾ and 147, respectively for their welterweight title fight on March 13, 2010, Saturday.

Freddie Roach, Pacman’s trainer, said that weight isn’t a major concern for the Philippine champion. According to Roach, Pacquiao’s normal weight is at about 152 pounds in a day during his training.

Pacman weighed 144 on Friday morning and roach furthered that his weight would drop after drinking protein shakes.

Both fighters did their best to stare at each other after their weigh-in but failed when they both broke into laughter.

Jerry Jones, Cowboys’ owner is hopeful that the opening bout at his stadium is “hopefully one of many.”

Bob Arum, the fight’s promoter expects the bout to generate at least 1 million pay-per-view buys with it being shown in more than 80 million homes around the world.

The weigh-in included actor Robert Duvall and Darren Woodson, former Cowboys safety. The stadium’s officials is looking forward to 42 past and present members of the team to be spectators to the fight, including Jimmy Johnson and Troy Aikman, ex-coach and former quarterback, respectively.

Nearing the sellout of 45,000, stadium officers announced that standing-room tickets would be available at 35$ apiece.
